Anyway, I feel like every Monday I recap the same stories, the first one being of course Ghastly Geoff. His fear, arrogance and anger as Yasmen starts to unmask him is masterful. Don't know if the Inside Soap Awards will happen this year, but if Ian Bartholomew doesn't win big, I'm going to kick off.
Yasmeen leaves him in the house and goes to Alya's, where Geoff texts 42 times, threatening suicide. Yasmeen is concerned and after some argy bargy, she and Alya go to make sure Geoff hasn't made good on his promise. If only! He's disappeared but has left behind a broken picture frame covered in blood. He's a messy bitch who lives for drama, alright. He's actually down the boozer watching Yasmeen worry on his webcam. WHAT AN EVIL MAN. Yasmeen refuses to go to Spain and Alya loses patience, stomping off. Geoff returns and they make up, but then he admits that he did cut his figure on the picture frame, nothing more serious than that. Whilst he's out at the chippie, Yasmeen rings the police to speak to someone about accessing information about her husband under Claire's law.
The second story is the quad squad and the Battersby Brown-Winter household. Bernie departs and warns Ches that it's more than "baby blues" with our Gemini. Even he has noticed that she's not overly excited about Aled's hearing aids. He tries to talk to Gemma, but she refuses to admit that anything's wrong.
Meanwhile, Michael's given up on his inventor/entrepreneur dreams and has gone for a sales job at the factory. For someone who's got the gift of the gab, he's quite nervous about the interview. Alina's quite taken with his charm. Isn't he a bit old for her? Mind you, David is 30, despite looking about thirteen and three quarters.
Until next Monday, which will be Wednesday again, I think.
